[Q] DVB-T on Iconia A500 ?

Hi,
I have an usb dvb-t stick (of the family A867 of avermedia, the nano 3d), can you tell me where the drivers are installed in the honeycomb for the iconia a500?
When I it connect to the iconia, from the terminal typing the command smesg, I can see that it recognizes the device but does not have the drivers

What makes you think drivers exist? If there are Linux drivers available, you might be able to port them, but then what? You'll also need an app capable of decoding the data from the device, and tuning in to the needed frequencies. Such a thing doesn't exist on Android at the moment.

ok, thanks for reply

Drivers exist ! DVB-T is functioning on Archos 101 (Froyo). They have an app that scans (livetv.apk as i remember well) the dongle. Look for internetadresses at the thread i opened a week ago. Unfortunately í'm not able to adapt the existent drivers for our tablet. The last driver i wrote was to connect a Teletype to a Z80 processor so now you now i'm a digital dinosaurus.

My "Cinery T USB XE" works on my Acer Iconia A210.
I have done a channel scan with droidTV.apk. Found channels, but have a very high error rate, so it*s don't see anything.
Is any one working on an app for DVB ? Maybe someone can tell how to crosscompile an binary? Or maybe can tell me how to configure toolchain paths for compiling successfull????

[WebTop] USB to Ethernet is OK

Hi,
WebTop (with full ubuntu mod) works fine with Trendnet TU2-ET100 (asix chipset).
I have just added these 2 lines in "/osh/etc/network/interfaces" for DHCP autoconfiguration :
auto usbeth0
iface usbeth0 inet dhcp
Doum

Nice to know. Ethernet might come in handy for a lot of people docking as their PCs.
I guess any other USB ethernet card that works with a normal Linux PC should work here.

Hello there,
First I would like to say that I'm glad that in the last few weeks i finally managed to let my heavy 15.4' 9 cell Dell Laptop on the Office and bring home the Atrix + LapDock everyday including weekends and holidays
I have what i need on my LapDock + FullUbuntu: gedit, gnome-terminal, OpenOffice, PDF readers, Psi+ (jabber client with PGP Encryption), GNUPG, Mumble Voice Chat, Firefox (with client SSL certificates ) and OpenVPN.
Everything else, like e-mail, music and video players i'll prefer running on the Android
So, i want to buy this USB -> Ethernet adapter to make it even better!
I thought buying the TrendNet but it seems somewhat bigger than other adapters that use the same "chipset" (ASIC). I also find those adapters cheaper than the TrendNet one:
http://www.ebay.com/dsc/i.html?_nkw...=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=1
I think i will buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-REAL-US...ltDomain_0&hash=item56471dfaff#ht_2136wt_1026
It seems great but now i'm not entirely sure what's the chipset on the TrendNet: AX88772A or AX88772B?
The one i'm buying uses the AX88772B.
The difference seems to be very small, the drivers seems to be the same and the "B" version supports checksum offloading and it's intended for Low Power consumption. Here's the detailed specs of both chips:
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=97;71;101
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
So, what do you guys think?

Did you get it yet? If you did, how does it work?

I bought this one from Deal Extreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0-10-100mbps-rj45-lan-ethernet-network-adapter-dongle-34691
It's really cheap, small and uses the AX88772B chipset.
But i'm not able to test yet, simply because it's not here yet
I bought using standard Air Mail that takes something like 20 days to get here in Brazil... And when it does arrive here it's going to take 10 more days (or even more) for Brazilian (Fuc***) Customs to release it for Brazilian Postal Service to finally deliver it... This sucks.
But well, i promise that as soon as I get it, i will test and put the results here.
Merry Christmas!

Post resurrection alert!
I tried this with an Airlink 101 today. I didn't add the extra lines listed in the OP, but I did start the dhcp client manually and it got an address and webtop was happy. Does anyone know if the android portion of the phone is able to use the wired Ethernet connection? From my quick test it didn't seem like it did.
I have a much slimmer Cisco USB to Ethernet adapter that I plan to try. I used the Airlink because it was lying around on my desk doing nothing.
And with all the webtop talk starting up, this may be of interest to others.

AX88772B not working
Well, mine did not work
I bougth this one from DealExtreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0...r-dongle-34691
As i said before, it uses the AX88772B chipset.
I have confirmed that and installed the driver for my MacBookPro and it's working just fine.
I have downloaded the drivers from:
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
It's noticeable that there is also a driver for Android but it's the source code, not the compiled kernel module.
So i think i'll will need to get the Atrix kernel source compile the driver with the headers and prey to work...
Maybe it's something with my ROM... I have updated to the latest Motorola official 2.3.6 build for Brazil.
Could you guys tell me what's the output of these two linux commands, as soon as you plug the USB device ( the last 10 lines or so):
$ dmesg
and
$ lsmod
Victor.

This is awesome.
Can't wait until they bring the webtop to CM7. It was a loss when I upgraded, but the smoothness and capabilities of a CM7 rom are worth the loss of the webtop... for now.
It's good to know that when it get's working again I can use a USB to Ethernet with the Ubuntu mod.
Thanks!

Don't hold ur breath.....cm9 is underway don't think webtop is gonne come yo cm7 but u can always mirror with lapdock

root, make changes, then unroot
Would like to be able to use a usb ethernet adapater on my unaltered Atrix running 2.3.4. If I were to root, make the changes to the two lines and then unroot again, would the changes remain?
In Post 6 above there is mention of the usb ethernet adapter only working under webtop. Is there a way to make it work on the phone itself as well, i.e., for the phone browser / market / email / etc.

Hello.
When it connected to my HDDOck - eth0 not detected. In the webtop (I webtop2sd) lights icon - an unknown usb connection ...
Any advices to solve this issue ..

i have this issue also, connecting usb broadband detects it as cd-rom drive. i have zte mf627 broadband kit. ill attached screens later. dmesg result show port but has no device name.

I got mine mk808 yesterday. I bought a mk802 in august but it "burned" after 1 week. I also think that the mk802 was very laggish... The mk808 is far much better!!!
So far I am very very very happy with it!

I got mine today. I ordered it over a week ago. Weird because I didn't get my shipping information until last night, and when I tracked it, it was already out for delivery.
My Measy Air Mouse R11 is screwed though I think. It keeps sliding to the left hand side. I even tried on my PC and it does the same thing. I've tried to resync it and screw with it, but it keeps moving. Very hard to use a mouse that doesn't stay still. The MK808 is fun. I just got it tonight. I haven't had the time to get really crazy with it. Seems to run ok and would be far more enjoyable with a good input device.

Ordered mine today (only $60), if it really works as reviews say, it's quite a bargain

Do you still have problems with the rc11 or are they solved ?

I fixed my Measy Air Mouse R11.
To reset the Gyros, you lay it flat and press and hold LEFT ARROW + G for a few seconds... making sure it is flat. Now it works great.
I'm having some weird issues with some misbehaving apps. Root explorer started freaking out. And now my FPse won't use OpenGL for the life of me. I'm interested in trying the CM10 build for it but the operation requirements are bland. Supposedly it requires CWM recovery, which is supplied but doesn't give specifics how or what order or process to get it done.
I have to say that it is a fun unit to work with and chews through FPse roms. I'm surprised how well it runs for a chinese chipset.
Flashing is a bit of a chore and instructions aren't very clear, so I'll post them here:
With the unit OFF:
Insert a paper clip into the reset hole and press it in and HOLD IT down.
Awkwardly insert the MicroUSB-PC cable into the OTG. This will power the unit and it should boot into Flash mode given you've held the paperclip down properly.

Trying to install eGalax Touch Screen linux driver
I'm trying to install the eGalax Touch Screen driver for Linux 2.6 that came with my liliput 7 inch touch screen. The touch screen is for use in my car. Using the mk802 II or ug808 to replace my audio system. I just need to get the driver installed. The driver installation script is looking for the locations "usr/local" and "usr/bin", but the only "usr" directory I can find is in "system/usr"... I'm not sure if I should use that location and create the local and bin directories there or not. But when I created the usr/local and usr/bin at the same level as system (which is in the "mnt" directory which is also at the same level as "root" directory (btw, I cannot find a "home" directory), the install seemed to work fine using Better Terminal Pro android app with the bash shell. However, when I restarted the device, the "usr" directory that I create was gone, so the driver install was wiped apparently, and the usb HDMI touch screen still does not work... I can post the bash script if that helps. This is the last thing I need to get this to work, then I can have a full Android ICS system in my car. Thanks in advance.
FYI The HDMI works great to view and use a usb mouse or the RII keyboard. they work great. It's just the touch screen input does not work. It used to when I first turned on the device with the touch screen on, but the x-y coordinates were reversed, hence attempting to install the driver. I have ICS compiled from source and may attempt to add the drivers into it and create an img to them load on the mk802 II, but I fear that I'll loose any proprietary hardware drivers that came with the mk802 II.
I also wanted to make a img backup using ROM Manager, but ClockworkMod is not available for the MK802 II. ANy leads on this would help. Been researching and testing this for a month now.

Ordered on the 26th for 65$ (actually cost £42 through paypal),
they shipped on the 29th (tracking never worked).
And it arrived on the 6th. So quicker than expected.
I've applied the firmware update which was a slightly newer build of 4.1. Mentioned in both these places (applied the tweaked one from deadhp1 for the play store location fix in case needed)

It now seems to play any avi / mkv / mp4 i've given it (usually on a usb stick or micro SD). It happily plays avi's over the network (using ES file explorer).
Its definitely better than the out of sync UG802 which wasn't quite right and the power lead came out too easily.
I use the custom stock video app (seems to come with most of the RockChip devices) and MX player (it looks a lot nicer)

I was looking for a device like this one and the reviews are really helpful

Anyone know of GPS that works with these?

So confused... it's a USB drive that turns a TV into an Android PC? Does the TV require any special functionality to allow for that?

It is a mini PC that has HDMI output. Your TV must have a vacant HDMI input so you can plug the mini PC into it. My TV supports 1080p. And so I can set the output resolution on the mini PC to 1080p. But it also could be set to 720p as well. These don't come with any display so you have to plug it in to your TV or a monitor that supports HDMI. The audio is pushed through the HDMI as well. To control it you can use a USB mouse and/or USB keyboard. Your cheap wireless mouse will work but the USB ports do not have power to them so I've had to use a powered USB hub to make my wireless keyboard work further than a foot away from the USB dongle for the keyboard. The hub also allows you to plug in other devices like a USB camera. But the ones that work are somewhat limited , be aware. Does that help you understand it?

probably you will need the kernel sources. also, you need root access. that error (directories that get lost after reboot) might be due to yo need to remount the /system partition in rw mode (by default is ro) and perhaps you will neet to do some symlinks on /bin to /system/xbin.
other thing you..must get in considwration is that android is different from linux.. and that you might need to compile the kernel module, such thiing im not sure that is posible from within the device itself...
or.. i just might be way off track, in which case jyst dismiss my answer

just so you know it doesn't have built in bluetooth.

if you need bluetooth google for imito mx1. this one seems to be the best mk808 model so far. i got mine last month but haven't tried bluetooth yet. antutu gives a score around 6500. it's a nice toy to play with on bigscreen tvs.

I read up on this one. Good vid review at http://youtu.be/X8pozwuAq7w
Anyone know the spec diff between this and the MX2?
and is geekbuying the best seller for this device or ???

can anyone comment on this non-support of XBMC for Rockchip? and if not Rockchip, which stick-PC gets it right?
one comment also that I would like more info on is that both iMITO units underperform compared to MK808
"Lack of XBMC support for HD hardware acceleration is a major issue that Rockchip needs to address if they want to keep selling SoC chips to the Stick PC mfgrs. Stick PC makers need 2 take action on this as well and if Rockchip won't play ball, they need to consider alternative SoC. We need more processing power anyway to get close to current smart-phone level and play the latest 3D games."

You can try pulling out the antenna (black wire) ... It worked for me and now I have very good WiFI signal on my MK802iv ... be careful to not modify the mount on the end of black wire (yellow stuff and some kind of sticky shield)
... or you can use the ethernet connection via USB ethernet adapter ; I used it until I've done wifi antenna mod
before I did the wifi antenna mod, the device restarted every 2-3 seconds when wifi was on

can any other users chime in ? would love to hear about updating to 4.2 and if they have worked out the wifi bugs ? also is the antenna necessary ? if it worked with 4.1 why would it need a hardware mode with 4.2 to work ?

[i have this one and works just perfect

Mine came with Android 4.2. Had the Wifi issues. Worse was that the Netflix did not play properly due to DRM issues.The latest version played videos distorted... you can see only lines!
Some suggestions where to downgrade the Netflix. The previous version plays videos but it will get stuck every minute.
